Greta's quilt - Behind the Mask

After some research on the history of Carnival, I ended on the Greek celebration of the Dionysia, a large festival in ancient Athens in honor of the god Dionysus.
I decided to use a whole-cloth, snow-dyed cotton as background. Then I printed an old stone-carving of Dionysus on a piece of organza, and appliqued some masks of silk and sheer-fabric. I used embroidery-seams on the masks. Then I machine-quilted the background. I finished with a traditional binding and some French knots  to better merge the face of Dionysus to the background.
